The Greatest Battle – Twisted

It is apparent that our world is in a major spiritual battle threatening every sector and landscape. This could easily be the Greatest spiritual Battle of all time. The World and its people are at an epic crossroad where lies and truth are not only colliding, but are also being twisted to confuse the masses and sow discontent and rebellion. These twisted times are threatening the soul of our nation and the family. The fringes of insanity seem to characterize the news and many leaders such as Bishops declaring their power greater than God, or Congresswomen stoking violence against governmental staff, or the daily display of public perversion and disparity. Are we in twilight zone of self-destruction?
Just as Jerusalem has become the center of controversy and division in much of world politics, the administration in Washington has become the vortex for a storm of hostility. I am convinced that Trump is God’s man for this challenging time. As the name implies, God’s “trumpet” is being blown for all nations to know that a supernatural promise is being fulfilled. God’s plan is advancing at a rapid rate and the big question is, will His final promise to the Jews and to the church follow soon? As expected the enemy will try to thwart anything that God does here on earth. The spiritual battle has reached a new stage and will be intensified. The church and its believers must keep in prayer.
 
As I write this there are evil spirits, principalities, and dark forces working to divide our nation and every relationship that we have. This Spirit of evil works by controlling minds and sowing division not only in the political arena, but also in homes, churches, schools, and in every age group, race, and social status. Toxic emotions and thoughts are driving the fake news, the widespread social disorder, and the ever-increasing irrational behavior and violence. Uncompromising anger is being sown by once respected Newscasters, and by others who want to twist the truth to undermine authority in God, Government, and Family. Instead of allaying fear and doubt they are stoking more fear and confusion. Drugs, Sex exploitation, Sex Trafficking, pornography, gambling, gaming, and Hollywood’s poison are only adding fuel to the fire.
 
Satan and his demons are hard at work, and if you know of anyone with a mental illness, keep them in prayer. We are becoming a nation of stimulant driven zombies willing to follow any spirit that numbs us to the truth. Secular television and movies are not helping us. They are only hypnotizing and blinding people to a future demonic visitation. Satan and his minions are using escapism and horror to prepare the world for their invasion of “space”. This space is not outer-space, it is inner-space. It took God just a few weeks to get Israel out of Egypt, but it took 40 years to get the “Egyptian mentality” out of the Israelite.
 
We must keep our leaders and our law enforcement in prayer. This spreading darkness is weakening our nation and our resolve. It is opening us up to both a physical and a spiritual attack of much larger scale and consequences. Keep our armed forces, our missions, and intelligence gathering forces in your prayers. We are already seeing Congressional leaders promoting violence and others promising to disrupt our election process. I believe that the rebellion of Matthew 24 and II Thessalonians 2:3 is about to begin.
 
As described in my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN, a “Pandora’s Box” has been opened. We are seeing the rise and fall of the proud and rebellious. Extreme weather and other events mentioned above are also signs. This is part of His plan and in midst of these trials He will help us spread the Gospel; and one way is to give us encouraging signs. It is no coincidence that the Triple Crown winner was Justify, Justify, and then Justify. This reminds the world that Jesus Christ will win despite the odds. He has justified us through the cross and has defeated both sin and death. His sacrifice for our sin justifies us in the eyes of God. He has given us a picture of His rescue and sacrifice in the real-life drama of the 12 boys in the dark cave. One has already given up his life for the others. From that will come the rescue of the others. The whole world has been captivated by this massive rescue attempt that I predict will Glorify God in more ways than one. The number 12 is significant. In speaking to the flesh-fallen Corinthians, Paul wrote, “We are humans, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.”
 
One of those destructive strongholds is the lie of evolution and another which is interconnected is the lie of “no life in the womb”. The idea of survival of the fittest contradicts everything that is good about the human struggle. They want us to believe that they support the innocent, yet they kill the most innocent. They claim tolerance yet they refuse honest debate, They claim the side of reason, yet good observation and logic proves them wrong. Read the Word and study with prayer the truth so as to understand and destroy those strongholds around you. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Eph. 6:12.
The Truth is the world is against God and that is why we are seeing the broad uplifting of the LIE to counter God’s TRUTH. No city in the world is more deserving to be declared the capital of a nation than Jerusalem to be Israel’s Capital. The land grant and the promise is written in the eternal and supernatural Word of God. That is one important reason why Islam and much of the world is coming against Israel and Trump. Just remember that Alexander the Great, the man who conquered that entire part of the world did NOT conquer Jerusalem. He marched around it and left.
 
Hebrews 4:15-16, “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Jesus gave a warning to both the weak Christian and church, Luke 11:22, “But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.

SEEING THEY WILL NOT SEE….

We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.  

In addressing the need to teach in parables, Jesus responded,  “so that seeing they will not see, hearing they will not understand….”  Are you one of those people who went to church, was bored or could not connect? Maybe it was because what was being taught did not capture your heart and mind. Maybe it was because what was taught at times did not make sense nor feel true at heart? Give God a chance, it is humans that make  mistakes and fail.  He really wants your attention and your heart. He loves you and sees you for who you really are. In fact you may not know who you really are. Let Him into your heart and he will teach and show you your identity and purpose.  Then seeing you will see, and hearing you will understand.

The following is another example of how some traditional teaching has gone off track: In the Bible we see that Jesus often taught with parables, so those with faith would understand, but those who were rejecting truth would not. In the Old Testament there are many passages that people fail to comprehend either because they do not take the time to study or because they are partially blinded by doubt or the cares of the world. Today the pastor gave a good sermon on Gideon, however he made an error in his observation. He stated that Gideon chose the 300 based on the cupping of their hands to drink the water. He said that the act of cupping the water demonstrated that they could see around them in case of a sneak attack! JUST THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE! Unfortunately, he did not read the details before writing his sermon. The 300 chosen were those who lapped the water and not those who cupped their hands! The Word specifically says, “separate those who lap the water with their tongue as a dog laps.” Now get a bucket of water and try to lap like a dog! You cannot do it, because your tongue is not designed like a dog. The tongue of the dog curls backwards. God always wants us to depend on Him and not on our own effort. He will even use a dog trait to identify his chosen!

Many people make the mistake of reading the Bible using pure theology with little or no scientific logic or “God purpose.” I define, “God Purpose” as seeing things from God’s viewpoint. Our mind identifies with those using cupped hands, and then imagines that certain other people can naturally drink water like a dog. At least this is what our uninformed Bible teachers have taught us. This is NOT TRUE. God wanted to show Gideon and us that He would win the battle using unconventional methods. In fact He wanted us to know that He was not choosing men based on their skills or strengths. As with Naaman the Syrian commander, God would use a humbling method to teach and transform. Elisha’s servant passed Elisha’s prescription for God’s healing to a leprous and proud Captain Naaman who was reluctant to obey until his humble maid reminded him that God’s truth was real and would work through anyone. Naaman obeyed and was immediately healed.

A human cannot lap water like a dog because our tongues do not curl. Our nose would be under water! Those teachers who suggested that a certain percentage of people normally lap water are wrong! They just heard or read what some other misinformed teacher had said, and did not do any research. God gave those 300 men a supernatural ability to drink that water vertically– maybe drawing the water into their mouths through His divine power. The point is, God was using this as a Sign to separate 300 chosen men! These were men that He chose for a reason, maybe because they had pure thoughts, and hearts. They would then use clay pots, torches, and trumpets to defeat an army of over 100,000 well trained and well-armed warriors!  The Midianites were a fierce nomadic war group trained to fight in all kinds of terrain.  This unconventional battle would be won by God, and He wanted everyone to know this both then and now.

People try to put the story into a human mindset, leaving God’s methods and message out.   Then they teach the wrong message which only turns people off or does not allow them to see the Power and Character of God.  It does help to know a little simple biology and use common sense. To those who suggest that a person with a big enough tongue could roll there tongue to create a “straw effect” – it might be true, but that would not be “lapping like a dog” and so would not fit the context.  The word “lap” and its compounds are used over 3 Times for emphasis – which does not mean “sup.” One can kneel 2 different ways – with one leg or two. However, there is another way to bend down to drink and that is to squat which is probably what these men did to then lift the water in both hands and lap like a dog.

Now imagine what it was like for those unconventional 300 as they stood there and looked down on that massive army destroying itself! They had taken into battle “Light for Fire”, “Vessels of Pottery” to break, and “Trumpets” to blow- each saying something about God’s work in us.  God is the potter and we are the clay.  He is our Light and our refining Fire, calling us, to become like broken vessels so that He might conquer our strongholds! He wants to light a fire in us so that as humble broken vessels we will go out and trumpet the Good News of the Gospel. The Trumpets announce the coming victory which he promises those who follow Him.  Remember our world may be dark and getting darker, yet the Gospel is the Light that will win against the forces of darkness.  God is going to give you and me unconventional methods to win the war and one of those is through prayer.

There is also an eschatological message in this powerful foreshadowing.  God is illustrating his plan for redemption of mankind.  As mentioned we are broken pots that need restoration and he is the potter that will refine us with fire.  He will save us in a very unconventional way by sending His Son to die for us and then return for His Bride with the Last Trumpet.

Read and digest my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation and you will see other examples of where traditional thinking may be in the way of correct interpretation and exegesis.  Now are you one of those people who went to church, saw your peers come to Christ and decided to join in, but never truly accepted Jesus as Savior? Or maybe you said a prayer or repeated a prayer, or just went forward without repenting and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord? Jesus taught the parable of the two sons to show us that those who at first rejected Him or His Fathers messengers, but then repented and surrendered to Him were the ones that were truly saved – and not those who said they believed yet failed to follow through with true faith and commitment. He also shared the parable of the wheat and tares which explains how Satan sows bad seed in the world and in the church among believers. He says that the enemy comes at night to sow weeds among the wheat. God is teaching us that we cannot judge the church because of bad seed in our midst. These tares are sown in the darkness of heart and time. Do not let the “tares” in the church determine your faith in God and in the church. Seeing you will see and hearing you will understand the truth if you keep your heart open to God and His Word.

The Divine Crossroads and Signs

IN writing my book I wanted to impart to the reader the fact that we are living in a special time where we are witnessing a “Crossover or Crossroad” in Jewish and Gentile History, and also in Jewish & Gentile Celestial Signs along with Jewish and Gentile Scientifically Historical Archaeological discoveries. For instance this last summer we had a series of significant celestial events: One was the Solar Eclipse over America (which indeed was a forewarning of severe storms to come) and the others were the Blood Moons and the overlay of the “Great Sign of the Woman” in Rev. 12:1-4 (which portends supernatural and natural events related to Israel, Jerusalem, and her exiled people).
 
What happened in the 1947-48 historical period was not only the formation of the nation of Israel, but also the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scrolls verified the accuracy and Truth of every Word in the Old and New Testament (for in the New Testament Jesus defined the Promises, and God’s character with many important references to Isaiah and prophets like Daniel). The accuracy of these references were carefully transcribed by the writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls and are “divine finger prints” or Living Testimonies of the reality of God’s Prophecies and Promises for us today.  Many came True in the time of Jesus. And some have yet to be fulfilled- and since we know the others came true 100%, we can Trust that the remaining will indeed be fulfilled with 100% accuracy! 
We are also seeing this Crossover in the “Old City of David” archaeological digs that are occurring as I write this. They have found concrete proof that David was not just a regional mayor, but a national leader and king of a real nation whose capital was Jerusalem. This means that the Jews are not a colonial power invading a foreign land owned by the Palestinians- “No” this proves that the Bible is true and the Jewish people are indeed the owners or inheritors of this land!
This is part of the Testimony of God’s city of Jerusalem which is being revealed shovel by shovel, and word to word.  And it is fitting that America and our President have played the historical role by testifying of this fact to the Gentile World.
 
The Lies and Deceptions designed by dark forces are being pushed back by the Gospel with supernatural transformations shaped by God, and also by Science and epic natural events! This is an Amazing time to be alive.  In my book I describe a powerful set of “divine signs” given to us in the banners carried by the 4 groups of Hebrew tribes in the Wilderness.  These are the same images seen on the faces of the Angels with Wheels in Heaven and amazingly they appear as symbols for the 4 Gospels.  The wheels of Time are being repeated with Signs given to us by God for our discernment in this present Time.  The name of the book is  COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.
Today we have signs pointing to the rise and fall of people and people groups.  It was no coincidence that at the 2017 Oscars, Warren Beatty (representing Glorified brutal violence against the innocent- ie. Bonnie & Clyde that terrorized small Texas towns) read out the incorrect winner as being La La Land – which represents Hollywood.  They were the losers for Moonlight which points to God and to his people are the winners.  Hollywood income like Disney is falling and their fortunes will fall in many other ways  as exemplified by Weinstein.

The Approaching Darkness –

There is an Approaching Darkness. When Jesus was on the cross there was a darkness for 3 hours that terrified even the soldiers. This was neither an eclipse nor a cloud. This was a supernatural darkness that also resulted in an earthquake, the cracking of rocks (which must have made some horrendous noise), and the supernatural top-to-bottom tearing of the 4-inch thick curtain dividing the Holy of Holies from the inner sanctuary. The thick darkness that fell over Egypt as the ninth plague covered the earth for 3 days. I believe that this is not a coincidence. In my book I compare the period of 70 days from the “budding of the fig tree” to the time of “fruit bearing” as a parallel to the 70-year Prophetic Generation spoken by Jesus at the Olivet discourse. It is fitting that the Shadow of death striking the first-born of Egypt came right after the 3 days of Darkness. Likewise the death of the Savior came right after the 3 hours of darkness. The fleeing Israelites were delivered by God, just as God delivered mankind in the resurrection. The 70 days of flower-to-fig conversion where the flower becomes the inner part of the fruit, is a unique floral transformation from the inside out. Likewise, the 70-year Prophetic Generation discussed in my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN will generate a unique time of New Beginnings and repentance among a lost generation of “flower children.” There will follow a deliverance for those who seek God and find him.

At our ministry this last Sunday, a guy who claimed Jesus Christ in his life, exuberantly demanded my attention while I was sharing God’s Truth with a younger man (much like what happened many weeks ago when I was sharing with the young New Ager- and a Hindu crazed guy interrupted our conversation- who also claimed a relationship with Jesus). This new guy had numerous tattoos on his arms hands and neck. He wanted to tell me that the Bible supported the idea that the earth was flat. I told him that Isaiah stated the phrase “the circle of the earth” which he ignored and then quoted Genesis: “and the Spirit hovered over the face of the waters”. He asked me how can the “face of waters” be round, and then stated, “the word ‘face’ implies a flat surface and after all you cannot bend water!” I looked at him and replied, “you are wrong water can be bent”. Then he dared me to explain. So I asked him if he had ever heard of gravity? To which he replied “so what?”  I said there are many natural forces that can bend water and one of those is when you take a cup of water and swing your arm as you empty the cup….the water pours out in a bend due to centrifugal forces. But the most obvious and common bend is that due to gravity when a wave breaks on a beach…..it bends at the angle of the Fibonacci curve. He walked away…..

Why are there so many crazy people that claim to be Christians? Doesn’t the Holy Spirit give us common sense? Then it occurred to me that the majority of so called Christians actually believe that God did not create the Universe and everything in it- that evolution did it…..so it saddened me to realize how effective Satan has been. I ask these people to explain to themselves where all earths 356 trillion billion gallons of water came from, or how can evolution create a language called DNA which is more complicated and diverse than all the verbal languages on the earth put together!!!!??  Evolution cannot create even one single sentence in any language- the reality of evolution is so illogical that it would be easier to prove that the earth is flat.  This is just another sign of the End Times…. False Christs, Lies, Slander, and Deceit, and most of all Satan’s deception. Read my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN and learn more.

Something to Share: Had one of the top Prophecy Teachers tell me that I could not show nor sell my book at his Conference. He apparently disagreed with something I wrote. So I asked him a question concerning his recent TV show. He had said that on Palm Sunday Jesus entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate. He also stated that the Temple was actually not where the Dome of the Rock is but further north so that its entrance was in line with this Eastern Gate. I had told him that my book looks at many aspects of Prophecy and other Truths with logic from the viewpoint of an artist, scientist, and military strategist- that one of the weaknesses of present interpretation is that LOGIC and COMMON SENSE is often neglected. He implied that that was ridiculous- so I asked him a question about his lesson on TV, “how can you have the Eastern gate aligned with the Temple and yet still have Jesus making his entrance there?” He thought and then said “DUH – Jesus got off the donkey and then walked into the Temple grounds”. So I asked my NEXT question: “How then could this be called a Triumphal Entrance by the Prophet Zechariah?’ After all a Triumphal Entry implies a King entering on horseback!” He was stunned…and just ended the conversation. The truth is Jesus did not enter Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate. Yet this High Minded Prophecy Teacher has been teaching this on TV as if he is the expert.  This guy did not use common sense – since most people know that the most significant aspect about Christ’s entrance was that it was like the entrance of a KING and thus called the “Triumphal Entry.” The Bible does not say where he entered, but people like him like to use their “expertise” to make bad conclusions

By the way last weekend two  men accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

BOOK Ends – Thoughts on Cosmic Crossroad Countdown.

In math we know a negative + negative = a positive.  So how does a double negative become positive in real life?  God is the master of surprise and surprised the world with a series of these.   Jesus Christ became a captive to set the captives free, He became sin to destroy sin, He died for us to defeat death.   This is the power behind the bronze serpent in the wilderness that healed all those who looked on it. Jesus became sin for us so that we might be set free from sin – a parallel of the healing that came to those who looked upon the serpent on the pole.  Read about the Wilderness experience in Cosmic Crossroad Countdown
 
The Burning Bush in the Wilderness was an eternal fire, and so was the torch fire  at the Abrahamic Covenant,  the fire beaming from the eyes of God and the fire of the Shekinah Glory which followed the Israelites.  Fire would normally consume organic matter, but instead this fire not only brings light but also carries a supernatural message.  In essence this type of event goes against the natural order and would involve a visible infinity.  If you saw an angel, for instance, this would be looking into infinity.  Abraham was asleep when the torch passed between the sacrificed animals.  Moses, however, was awake and saw “God” in the fire.   I would conclude that the fire denotes eternal time, matter, power (energy) & revelation – Awesome Truth laden with Love and Grace -in other Words the “I AM”.   This would involve, the Present, the Future, and the Past, for God is not affected by Time.  We are given a portion of this Holy fire when the fire of the Holy Spirit is sealed in us.  This is the eternal seal that guarantees our salvation.  He is God’s Spirit, an eternal fire within us – a source of the divine Light revealing Truth in the Word of God and elsewhere.  We, however, are not greater than the angels until we are “resurrected” into the presence of God.  At the point we also become eternal beings, greater than the angels, but not “mini-god-spirits” like the Mormons believe.

Paul the Apostle who had a first-hand experience of the “Light” of Jesus Christ writes that as children of light “we should have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness” (Ephesians 5:11-12), taking the responsibility to reprove them and expose the lies. This includes the lies of evolution which deny the Power and Glory of God Almighty who defeated the Sin of Adam and the Fall of Man, on the Cross.  The Light exposes that which is reproved by God, enabling us to “walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise” (Ephesians 5:15). That wisdom is not the foolish wisdom of this world (1 Corinthians 1:20) but the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 2:7), “that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God,” understanding what the will of the Lord is.   Through his death and resurrection, Jesus who is, “God with Us (Emmanuelle),” has made His Kingdom available to everyone for free, and has manifested the Truth in His Word and Answered Prophecy.  The kingdom treasures are manifested in both the Old and New Testaments, but the “new wine” of Grace sets us free from the curse of the Law.  This Gift of Hope, Love, and Peace, the “kingdom life”, pulses through our heart and every fiber of our body and Spirit, as we wait for his return.  Jesus said, “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the Age,” Matt. 28:20.

In the book of Romans God  forewarns us of a new kind of flood in the future. In the book of Daniel, God speaks of the widespread expansion of information and a population on the move. This information deluge will overwhelm people with useless and distracting data that will draw the generations further and further away from the Word of God and from a relationship with Him. This deluge of information will also allow enemy sources to penetrate and disable our personal and national intelligence data banks and hardware that are keys to world survival, but not our eternal security.
This rapid rise in knowledge will  lead to increased perversion, and greater threats to God’s city, Jerusalem, and to His promised Israel.  Instead of repenting those who wish to attack the traditional family will and have joined up with the witches, the cults, the abortionist, the criminals (illegal aliens, felons, and radical Islam), and even those who are pushing for legalized marijuana.  They do not realize that they are playing with a Hellish fire that will consume them.  “Just as they did not seem fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil……..” “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator….”
As explained in earlier posts and in COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN, the “Great Sign” of Revelation 12 is an invisible sign for a skeptical world.  Unlike the Star of Bethlehem, which was visible to those with “eyes” to see, and the many visible appearances that the Lord made in  the Old Testament as a “Theophany”, God is not going to make an appearance until His Second Coming – at least the Bible does not forewarn us of any!  Near the End of Time, He will appear in the clouds to receive the church, and again on the Mount of Olives to face the world’s forces.  One of the first signs of His 2nd Coming will actually come from the Anti-Christ and his covenant with Israel.  It is important to note that this “Great Sign” was greatly promoted in the news by fake prophets as being a sign of a coming collision with a Planet-X.  Satan loves to distract us from God’s Truth and from the meaning of His Sign.  The minute the sun rose, the stars and planets and moon became invisible to our eyes.  What else is invisible, yet great?  Yes, God and all the angels are invisible yet great, and as real as the ground you stand on. Hence the this sign points to the supernatural or that which is real, yet cannot be seen.  We know the Great Sign was real because our astronomers and star-maps told us so.  And God knew that we would have this knowledge.  Read the book for to learn why this was a very, very unusual sign, and remember that the “child” is the church & not Jesus.  Then read about the dragon in Rev. 12, that wants to devour the child.  Also read about Satan in the next paragraph, and check out the statement below:
I believe that time is short, as discussed in the book.  God seems to be shaking up the world to the point that those who have gained power and prestige through lies, ill gain, and selfish determination are taking a fall from grace. The celebrities and politicians, like Congressman John Conyers and ABC’s Matt Lauer, who have used and abused their power are now being exposed and shamed by their own kind, the liberal media. It reminds me of how Gideon defeated the Midianite army and coalition of forces. There was fire-balls thrown into the darkness which confused the enemy and caused them to destroy each other. God will find divine ways to teach the power hungry a big lesson. The Light of Truth and the Fire of the Holy Spirit will confuse, and destroy darkness. Jesus says to us, “I am the Light of the Word, follow me and you will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.”  We are seeing the “reversal of fortunes” or “surprise returns” in relation to the Jubilee year, as described in my book.  However, I had thought that this would also be reflected in the economy. Instead we are seeing this happen in a personal way to a person’s fortune, reputation, and self-esteem. God has orchestrated this fall for their sake so that in their loss and fall they will return to Him in repentance. This reversal of fortune or fall from grace is a shadow or reflection of Satan’s fall from heaven described in Revelation 12.

Why is the number 12 or Revelation 12 important?  Twelve is the number of Perfection & Authority – but also of “Time” set by God in the natural world of the moon, sun, stars, & constellations, (12 months, 12 Constellation Signs, and two sets of 12 hours). Twelve is also an interesting number combination of the perfect unit 2 found in all of creation and the number 10 of purification. The number “two” defines a dynamic coexistence of opposites or contrasts that balance forces, entities, divinity, space, and matter. All of creation is a balance of 2’s. Two can be looked at as a unit such as male and female, or the Hypostatic union of God and man, or light and darkness.

God in fact designed His Creation to witness both Good and evil. Thus, the number 12 could be looked at as a universal number for order in God’s Divine Plan for creation in both space and time!  The number 2 also represents God’s power manifested on earth.  We see 2 witnesses, the power of praying “where 2 are gathered”, the disciples going out 2 by 2, and many metaphors such as the two “olive trees” and “two lampstands” in Zechariah.   Two is also a sign of balance and stability.  It provides equal force and function to our body and those of other creatures.  The animals entered the ark two by two and God provides us two choices: to be with Him or separated from Him for eternity.  God is pointing to Revelation 12 for a reason-  a message from the “heavens” to forewarn us about supernatural events about to happen.  Everything is moving a lot faster and with more intensity including all the dark forces and principalities of evil.  This speeding up was forewarned by Daniel who was given the most important prophecy of all time:  The 70 Weeks Prophecy of the End of the Age.   Every aspect of life seems to be “accelerating and changing” so dramatically that many people in many nations fear that the world is hurtling toward doom.  America is no long the beacon of light reflected in the Statue of Liberty and the American Constitution.

There is an Approaching Darkness.   When Jesus was on the cross there was a darkness for 3 hours that terrified even the soldiers.  This was neither an eclipse nor a cloud.  This was a supernatural darkness that also resulted in an earthquake, the cracking of rocks (which must have made some horrendous noise), and the tearing of the 4-inch thick curtain  at the Holy of Hollies from top to bottom (hence God tearing it).  The thick darkness that fell over Egypt as the ninth plague covered the earth for 3 days.  I believe that this is not a coincidence.  In my book I compare the period of 70 days from the  “budding of the fig tree” to the time of “fruit bearing” as a parallel to the 70-year Prophetic Generation spoken by Jesus at the Olivet discourse.  It is fitting that the Shadow of death striking the first-born of Egypt came right after the 3 days of Darkness.  Likewise the death of the Savior came right after the 3 hours of darkness.   The Israelites were then delivered by God, just as God would deliver mankind through the resurrection.  The 70 days of germination of the fig floret results in the bearing of fruit and is a direct parallel to the 70 years since the “budding” of Israel.  The end of the 70-year Prophetic Generation will result in New Beginnings and new life in Christ.  There will be both a judgment and a deliverance.  Those who seek God will find Him and those who reject him will turn further and further away from truth and righteousness.

Turkey is turning more and more into the Gog of the Bible.  They have imprisoned Pastor Brunson on trumped up charges using hidden witnesses and mock trials.  They have in essence admitted that they are doing this in retribution for our failure to turn over certain American citizens for trial in their country. There is good evidence that Turkey is the “seat of Satan” as described in Revelation, concerning the church of Pergamum.  Satan would feel at home in a city with 4 Temples to the Emperors of Rome, a Temple to Artimus, and a huge Temple to Zeus.  Snakes would be used for healing; there were rooms where one would sleep with snakes in the hope that the serpents would crawl over them and give them good dreams, and healing. The Christian theologian and leader Antipas was burned alive and killed at the altar to Zeus.  This “throne of Satan” was later moved to Berlin and reconstructed by 1930, just in time for Adolph Hitler.  This throne and altar inspired Hitler’s torch parades and “Cathedral of Light” created by dozens of spotlights pointing to heaven.  Hitler employed “Hollywood Stars” to add to this German mystique.  Soon he formed the Nuremberg Laws which removed citizenship from the Jews setting them up for the “final solution,” the Holocaust.  Was this another “burnt offering” to Satan, just as Antipas was thousands of years earlier?

We may see Turkey making more alliances with nations like Russia and Iran in the near future, as it contends with both Israel and America.  Recently Erdogan, the self proclaimed dictator of Turkey, told America and Israel that moving the embassy to Jerusalem “was their red line.”  Iran has already told us that rescinding the Iran agreement established by Obama, would be crossing a red line, with severe consequences.  Here in May we also have the potential conference between Kim of North Korea and Trump.  Is this another trap or smokescreen from North Korea for a surprise attack on the South or on us?   We are entering a very precarious period with ominous signs.  Some of those signs are of natural order such as the 3 surprise eruptions of a normally “dormant” Steamboat geyser in Yellowstone (which produces a geyser 10X the volume of Old Faithful) and the fierce eruption of the volcano on the large island in Hawaii.  This is a volcanic island like many in the Pacific that are now very active.  There are earthquakes happening all around the ring of fire surrounding the entire Pacific ocean.  Does all this portend of a massive earthquake in California?

 

 

The Paradigm and COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

On page 67 of my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN,  I discuss a very interesting “parallel in time” related to two 70-year Prophetic Generations each consisting of a 50-year Jubilee, and a 20-year “maturing” period. The birth of Jesus Christ in 2 BC (read my blog post showing why this date of birth is the correct one), and the birth of Israel in 1947-48 begin this mirror image parallel.  The parallel is broken up into a 20-year period and a 50-year one.  The date 1967 when Israel fought the miraculous 6-Day war after maturing into a capable fighting force with a solid economy runs parallel to 17 AD when the Son of God, Jesus Christ became of age 20 which was the tradition age in Israel to serve and give offerings.  Both introduce the next stage of maturation, where they impact the world with their shared power and aid.   Jesus will heal the multitudes through miracles while Israel will heal countless people through their advanced medical research and production.  They will also give all kinds of international aid (including high tech irrigation techniques and earthquake recovery). Jesus will transform the world with the New Covenant of Grace while Israel and the Messianic Church will transform the world through peaceful missions, life changing ministries, and Nobel winning discoveries in every profession including medicine, economics, and physics.

Add 50 years or one Jubilee to make our time of 2017-18 AD, we have seen the death of Billy Graham which runs parallel to 67-68 AD and the death of both Paul and Peter.  Their death left the church without the most influential leaders.  Right before their death something else of great significance happened: the “abomination of the Temple” or the date when the Romans brought their banners and standards of Caesar Titus into the Temple sanctuary.  In parallel, today’s church has in the last couple of years taken a big fall into Apostasy.  Barna Research has shown that only 28% of pastors had a Biblical World view.  The rest compromised their trust in the Word of God by not believing that the Word of God is reliable enough to be called inerrant and non-contradictory!  Check out the chart on page 67 of the book.

Both 70-year periods introduce a new paradigm in history.  After 67-68 AD the church would continue to grow outward away from Jerusalem and Judea, and persecution would continue until the Christian revival under Emperor Constantine. Both Christians and Jews would be dispersed throughout the Empire and beyond.  We still do not completely know what transformations will happen after our 2017-18 period, but there are many “new beginnings” occurring as the church is starting to make a comeback in national affairs and influence.  In contrast many prideful leaders have risen to new heights, then fallen completely from national grace.  This includes Congressman Conyers, Hillary Clinton, Judge Moore, and many “stars” in Hollywood and the media. There is much more explained in other posts on the blog, ToGodBtheGlory.org and in my book.  This birth, maturation and transformation parallel has similarities to the one explained in the book, Paradigm, by Jonathan Cahn.  The parallels between Ahab, Jezebel, Joram, and Jehu with Bill and Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Trump is startling.  There are many details in these unique paradigms discussed in his book and mine that will shake you up and help you to realize that God is in complete control of historical events and the affairs of man.  Read more in the next post on the Resurrection.

Exciting New News Connecting the Book

As stated in the Testimony part of my Book, Jerusalem is the centerpiece of God’s Geographical Prophecy and Promise.  On Dec. 6, 2017,  Trump announced the plan to move our American Embassy to Jerusalem.  He is the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the nation of Israel!  All this happened in 2017, which is significant considering the meaning of that year in relation to other historical events and generations.  All this is discussed extensively in the book: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.

Jerusalem is mentioned over 300 times in the Bible.  It is mentioned 142 times in  the New Testament and 660 times in the Old.  Note that Jerusalem is also called Zion, Salem, The City of David, and Ariel.  Of those 800 Biblical references, 489 are connected to prophecies given by God that are not yet fulfilled!  Jerusalem is the “Forever” capital of Israel and the location of God’s future throne.

Another Testimony was that of Nathan the Jewish boy when went to heaven for 15 minutes and completely baffled the rabbi.  Even though he had no formal training in the Torah, he revealed truth that so caught the rabbi’s attention that he filmed the interview even though the parents had protested.   The young Jewish teenager had this vision on a very significant day!  He saw Jesus Christ in his vision on the very day that the 4th blood moon over Jerusalem occurred.

In the Testimony of history and current events we are seeing the war in Syria pit our planes and soldiers  against Russian mercenaries (contract soldiers is what the media is now calling them), and just this week Israel and an Iranian stealth drone.  Israel has forewarned Iran that next time there will be dire consequences.  Last month we saw Turkish tanks, soldiers, and planes combat the American allied Kurdish forces in Northern Syria.  Some believe that once ISIS is destroyed completely, Erdogan will announce a new Caliphate that will protect the whole region from rogue enemies such as ISIS. He is building a large German designed Tank factory and a new naval base on the island of Suakin (which was its fortress during the Ottoman Empire). Erdogan has also decided on an advanced Russian Anti-missile system over a NATO system- which will cause severe friction with NATO and the US. All this has the making of a new Mid-East war.  Ironically Egypt has been buying arms from North Korea which is just another East meets West conspiracy.  The biggest threat however is between Iran & North Korea and the potential for a large 2 front war of a nuclear level against both Israel and the United States.

The Ottoman Empire lasted for 400 years after conquering Christiandom in Jerusalem, and in the last 70 years we have seen Israel rise up as the new power in the region. Now 100 years since Jerusalem was liberated by the British, will a new Turkish Empire allied with Russia and Iran rise up against Israel to regain Jerusalem? Is this Empire the Gog or Magog?

 

 

 

The Back Windows of Truth – from the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown

Page 77:  Peter the Apostle warns us to, “Rid yourselves of all wickedness, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.” And he continues, “the stone that the builders rejected – this One has become the cornerstone.” And then he warns,  “I urge you as aliens and temporary residents to abstain from fleshy desires that war against you.” Then after much sharing concludes, “Be sober! Be on the alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your brothers in the world,” I Peter 2:1-5:9.  Slander is much worse than people realize for it results in damage to all involved. Those who listen to slander need to beware for not only will it detour you, but if you pass it on, you will be just as guilty.  Slander relates to what was said earlier about reconciliation and remorse during the 10 Days of Awe.  By tradition the Jews thought that God was keeping a set of books on everyone and would judge them accordingly.  This is supported by what Jesus Christ said, “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment,” Matt. 12:36.

We all remember as children what happened to Samson, who squandered God’s blessings to feed his desire. He lost the very eyes that led him to sin. our country cannot afford to be led away by lust and greed and the resulting perversion and loss of innocence. one result of this run-away lust is the high abortion rate and a resulting mental and spiritual illness in our nation.

Page 72:  We seem to be at a very important “Cosmic Crossroad” in time, both astronomical and historical – linking God’s time to man’s time and joining Judaic prophetic signs to Gentile Signs of the end Time. This is all part of His order and plan. Just as God used the stars to point to His 1st coming, does it not make sense that He will again use the stars and constellations to point to His 2nd Coming! Twelve is the number of Perfection & Authority – but also of “Time” set by God in the natural world of the moon, sun, stars, & constellations, (12 months, 12 Constellation Signs, and two sets of 12 hours). Twelve is also an interesting number combination of the perfect unit 2 found in all of creation and the number 10 of purification. The number “two” defines a dynamic coexistence of opposites or contrasts that balance forces, entities, divinity, space, and matter. All of creation is a balance of 2’s. Two can be looked at as a unit such as male and female, or the Hypostatic union of God and man, or light and darkness.

God in fact designed His Creation to witness both Good and evil. Thus, the number 12 could be looked at as a universal number for order in God’s Divine Plan for creation in both space and time!  The number 2 also represents God’s power manifested on earth.  We see 2 witnesses, the power of praying “where 2 are gathered”, the disciples going out 2 by 2, and many metaphors such as the two “olive trees” and “two lampstands” in Zechariah.   Two is also a sign of balance and stability.  It provides equal force and function to our body and those of other creatures.  The animals entered the ark two by two and God provides us two choices: to be with Him or separated from Him for eternity.

Page 78:  Peter’s generation saw the first coming of the Lord and witnessed intense persecution. In comparison, we have witnessed “evil empires” and defeated them, and in this country, we have seen very little persecution. Are we “on guard”, as Peter states, or are we allowing the enemy in? The result of our recent election shows the deep divide within the ethos and convictions of our society. The fabric appears torn by hatred, revenge, and a rebellious anger. Some are raising the flag and others are stomping on it. Some are lifting hands to God and others are flaunting a tirade of anti-authority demands and behavior. The traditional fabric is being trampled on and set on fire! Yet, God is with us and our country continues to seek the high ground. We can learn from history, from other generations, and from the words of God, or we can go our own way and lose our way. That is one reason why we need to continue to look at Prophecy and Promise, and realize that this confusion may be God’s plan.  God may be orchestrating all this bizarre behavior to open the door to the Anti-Christ. The stage is being set and the Last Generation needs to turn the lights on!

Page 81:    Here is recap of the top 3 major Biblical generations and the 3 dates that fulfill prophecy for the nation of Israel: Using the birth day of the nation of Israel in 1947-48, the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967, and the issuing of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, we notice that the 50 for Jubilee equals “Release or Return”, the 70 equals “Prophecy Complete”, and the 100 equals “Time extended” for testing. All will end at approximately the same time in 2017-18. Behind these generational periods are the other supporting periods such as the 400, 500 and even the 1000-year Jubilee periods.

We will see how the 40-year generation period spiritually intersects with multiple 400-year periods and other wilderness times of purification. God penalized the nation of Israel a total of 40 years, or one year for each day that the spies lacked faith in their 40-day period spying out of the “enemy” land! This was a unique period for Israel We will soon see in Chapter 6, how this time of purification also links to the “Cross in the Wilderness” and to us.

Page 87:  Our liberal Media used to present truth to the world, but now it is under a grand delusion! It acts as both judge and jury determining what is right and wrong in our nation – making evil good and good evil! These and other lies are reflected throughout the world with increased atrocities, terrorism, apostasy, corruption, starvation, disease, and Christian persecution. An example of what God says about liars and those who follow the lie: “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” The Serpent said to eve, “You will certainly not die.” The world wants us to believe that God either does not exist or He is impotent. God is alive, and He is actively waiting for you or others to come closer to Him, and to follow Him with faith. There is nowhere that God will not go to save you. God is chasing after you, if not with the “hounds of heaven,” He is seeking and searching the world with the “Four Wheels” Ezekiel describes in the throne room of heaven. This could be his “vehicle” to bring opportunities for you.

Interlude with Death and New Beginnings

Death is the end of the line to those who do not know the LORD.  Likewise the RETURN of Jesus Christ sets the “World’s Clock” to “Apocalypse Time” or the “Hour of Judgment” where all the tribes and nations will be judged.  This will not be a time of national rejoicing!  No nation will be spared and no individual on earth at that time will escape Judgment.  The Word of God says that the “nations will mourn” and the leaders and kings will cower in caves.  Jesus Christ will defeat the forces of the Anti-Christ and other converging armies.  He will then usher in the Kingdom of God and will rule for 1000 years from Jerusalem in a New Beginning  called the Millennium.

I had an interlude with the shadow of death this weekend.  As I was about to serve a tennis ball to a friend, I asked if he was ready.  He said “No,” then went down on his knees and fell over. I ran over and found that he was not breathing nor had a pulse….so I started CPR and went on for 15 minutes because no one else wanted to help! The ambulance got lost even though one of our big hospitals was only about a 15 minute walking distance away!  I was doing solo with 2 breaths and 30 compressions and did get a pulse, but the pulse was weak and  continued for only a few seconds.  I pray that he had time to accept Jesus as I was pumping his blood and breathing the breath of life into his lungs! We had discussed forgiveness and salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in years past?

So what does this have to do with new beginnings?  God uses the “seed” to represent both death and new life.  In order for the seed to bring life, it must die.  Each time God culled or purged his people for their rebellion and sin, He would bring new life to his nation.  A select group would go through trials and tests as they entered into a new Promise.  The new year in both the Jewish and Gregorian calendars end with the number 8 which in the Hebrew Gematra means “new beginnings.”  Are we entering into a new paradigm where both “worlds” will be  tested as God’s Promise is fulfilled?

We just saw the end of the Jubilee year of 5777 and now we begin a new set of 7 sevens or 49 years.  And so begins a new 7 year Shemitah period.  We are seeing all the important generational periods converge on this Jewish year of 5778, implying that a whole new set of generational periods are about to begin.  Even the Cosmic Signs imply a new beginning: both the Solar Eclipse and the “great sign of the Woman and Child of Revelation 12.”  The Solar Eclipse generated fear in ancient civilizations because it often forebode a new calamity of some kind.  In our case we had 3 major hurricanes within 3 weeks time.  The Houston hurricane broke all records for rainfall and the Puerto Rico storm was probably one of the most destructive per acre of any hurricane.

The Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-4 is not visible and hence, it is a supernatural sign indicating a new phase in the supernatural realm promised by God as described in the 2nd paragraph of Revelation 12.  Just as Satan was once “glorious” then fell from grace, mighty men and women are going through a rise and fall before our eyes. Many of those  are in Hollywood, Congress, leaders of the world and in the media.  God is actively unveiling His Plans and fulfilling all His Promises.

“Returns” – Answered Prophecy & the New Printing of COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

Concerning the Signs that God gave us around the Jewish New Year that ended the Jubilee year of 5777, God impressed me to write the following passage: “Remember also that the year that we are in is a Jubilee year and so the focus has been on ‘Returns.’ Maybe something surprising is returned from one party to another such as land. Maybe it is a return to God or God’s return to man?“  The festivals and times of repentance that God designed for the Jewish nation are prophetic.  They coincided with both a spectacular American Solar Eclipse and the “Great Sign of the Woman” of Revelation 12.

My book was written prior to August. When I wrote about the “returns” I was relating it to both Teshuva and Jubilee.  Teshuva was the 40-day period leading up to Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement when all were called to return to God and repent for their sins.  Jubilee which comes every 50 years celebrates the return of land to original owners and the return of debts.  The “surprise” aspect of the “Returns” relates to God’s intervention in our timeline and His desire to draw the world to Him as he honors Truth, the humble in heart, and the poor in Spirit.

The return of Jerusalem as capital of Israel or Trump’s recognition of God’s city as the true capital of Israel was a surprise to many.  Our nation’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital is very significant since we are the “power brokers” of the modern age. It is indeed a return to the Truth and to Reality. This is what God wants of nations and people.  And it joins our history and interests to that of the nation of Israel!  Many people do not realize this but on our “Liberty Bell” are inscribed words related to the “Jubilee,” from Lev.25:10.  Just another reminder that God owns it all and that should honor Him in all that we own.

Happy New Year to Everyone!  My book is now in it’s 2nd Printing along with   some new information.  Although I did not mention this specific instance, here is a story related to the apostasy of the church:  there was a Kairos Conference that many followers of Kenneth Copeland went to.  There were other speakers including many in the Catholic faith.  What saddened me was to hear Kenneth declare that the Protestant Reformation was one of the greatest spiritual sins of all time and that it was racist.  Copeland also clearly states that the Reformation was of the Devil since it caused disunity and strife!  Look this up on “YouTube” and you will find the complete video (one video is called “Something Big is Going to Happen in 2018”).  What is sad is that Kenneth claims to be filled with the Holy Spirit , yet he is the one causing major strife and claiming a lie.

The Protestant Reformation brought the Bible to the common man and ended the tyranny of the Popes including indulgences.  William Tyndale and many other great scholars were put to the stake for printing the English Bible and making it available to the common man.  This is just another sign of the End Times and the encroachment of the Anti-Christ Spirit as it seeds the nations with lies and the counterfeit religion.

God will supply us with our every need.  “Give and it will given unto you,” is what God promises us.  Faith is believing what God has promised to do and acting accordingly. In this New Year, God is calling us to live by faith no matter the trial or test. Are you ready? Are you willing to Trust in God and His Word? Are you willing to put God before your own misconceptions, your idols, your fears, your desires, and your own mind and will? God says my thoughts and my ways are not your thoughts – they are beyond what the world knows; they are as far apart as heaven is from earth.  Are you willing to realize that “dark matter” and “junk DNA” are man’s lies to explain away God’s Creation, and that there is only one Way, one Truth, and one Life and that is in Jesus Christ?  To live by faith is to know God, and to know God is to read and study His Word, then listen to His voice.  As believers we should return to God all that is His and seek His kingdom and rewards on this earth.

Why The Invisible Sign!- The Jerusalem Countdown, Reversal of Fortune & my book

An Addendum to COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN (The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation): 

I believe that time is short. God seems to be shaking up the world to the point that those who have gained power and prestige through lies, ill gain, and selfish determination are taking a fall from grace. The celebrities and politicians, like Congressman John Conyers and ABC’s Matt Lauer, who have used and abused their power are now being exposed and shamed by their own kind, the liberal media. It reminds me of how Gideon defeated the Midianite army and coalition of forces. There was fire-light thrown into the darkness which confused the enemy and caused them to destroy each other. God will find divine ways to teach the power hungry a big lesson. The Light of Truth will dispel and destroy darkness. Jesus says to us, “I am the Light of the Word, follow me and you will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.”

God is speaking to us in this time and age and we are seeing the “reversal of fortunes” as suggested in my book. However, I had thought that this would be reflected in the economy, but instead we are seeing this happen in a personal way to a person’s fortune, reputation, and self-esteem. God orchestrates this fall for their sake so that in their loss and fall they will turn to Him in repentance. This reversal of fortune or fall from grace is a shadow or reflection of Satan’s fall from heaven described in Revelation 12. You will see how this fall is related to the Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-4.

Our year started out and continued with many surprise returns: from the 28-point reversal in the Super-bowl to the surprise win by the Astros; from the fall of Target to the rise of Walmart; from the NFL fiasco to the obsessive hypocrisy of the media; from the politically motivated attacks on Trump and Moore, to actual evidence based revelations of rape & groping committed by media & Hollywood giants. These “surprise returns and reversals of fortune” have a Biblical base. They are highlighted by the fact that September 22nd ended the Jubilee year and each generational period of 40, 70, and 100 connects in a dramatic way to our present time-line in the Hebraic year 2017-2018. There are also connections to 500 & 2000-year time spans.

My book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN-The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation, explains each generational connection, that the Solar Eclipse would follow with major storms, and that the Great Sign of Revelation 12 would be a sign without immediate impact. Like the Bethlehem Star, the September 23rd Sign from Revelation 12, ushers in a new Paradigm. The key is the first verse! I have asked dozens of people to tell me what is contradictory or illogical about that verse. No one has had the observational skills to see it. This is one of my points- it takes more than theology to understand the message in the Word of God – a touch of Science, Geography, Art, military tactics, and just pure common sense helps illuminate the message. One could say it takes wisdom and study. As you will see the correct understanding makes a huge difference as to what this whole passage means. It also illuminates the next paragraph in Revelation 12.

The fact is the Sign of Revelation 12 speaks of the Woman clothed with sun with the moon at her feet and a garland of 12 stars. Do you see the problem? As stated earlier, I have shown this to scholars who have failed to see this simple fact. Even though the verb, “appeared,” is used the “Great Sign,” is not visible and never was intended to be visible. Note that the minute the sun appears above the horizon or near the “Woman’s” shoulder – the sign disappears completely! This does not, however, imply that the event did not happen. The stars, planets, sun, and moon are where they are supposed to be, but we cannot see them.

God has given us a sign that is not intended to be seen with our eyes! Why? It is entirely possible that we will never see a visible sign of His Return, because Jesus said multiple times that he would not give a Sign to an “evil generation”. In Matthew 12:39, Jesus says, “A wicked generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” The Great Sign of Revelation 12 would fit this promise perfectly. Even though the sign is miraculous, it is not visible. It “appeared” in the heavens, but the sun keeps the human eye from seeing it!

Hence, I believe this sign is designed to portend the beginning of a supernatural event or series of events that are real, but are NOT visible! These spiritual events will have physical consequences as God orchestrates history with His Promises. The next sub-chapter within Revelation 12, portrays the casting out of Satan and one-third of the angels from heaven. Could this indicate that the mighty on earth who are full of pride like Satan will take a fall too? Does it mean that Satan and his demons will be more active on earth causing demonic mischief? This could be the answer to all the bizarre behavior, irrational threats by crazed leaders, and horrific acts of terror and murder that are happening in America and throughout the world. Could the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel be a catalyst to some more end-time events?

Also note that the 1st verse in Revelation 12, describes only the Woman. The 2nd verse introduces the child. And the 3rd verse shines a light on the “Dragon” or serpent. In just these three verses, the theme of the Bible is presented – as it was in Genesis 3:15. This is akin to the “Wheel of Time” mentioned in my book. Genesis Chapter 3 ushers in a whole new paradigm and I would guess that Revelation 12 will also. Remember the Bethlehem Star? The book explains that this visible sign was also related to the constellation Virgo and that it was not recognized by most in the known world. Yet, it motivated the Magi or Kings to travel a great distance to worship the child! That is why in my book I suggested that the Sign of Revelation 12 on September 23rd, 2017, has opened a door to new beginnings with supernatural consequences.

One of these new beginnings mentioned in my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN, is the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The fact that it did not happen earlier illustrates the impact Satan has in the natural world. Jerusalem is the location where God made his Covenant with Abraham and where God spared Isaac. It is where King David and all the other Judaic kings held office and where many of the great prophets lived and died. In Luke 2 the Word states, “Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.” This is where Jesus is found as a boy teaching the scribes in the Temple. It is the city of God where Jesus was crucified, then resurrected, and will return in His 2nd Coming. Psalm 122 commands us to pray for Jerusalem. Zachariah 12 states, “On that day I (God) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

God will side with Israel against all the nations of the world and He will use His supernatural power to defeat them all. Thus, we are in what I call a “new Paradigm,” where new beginnings will shake America and the world. In the book I indicated that since Jerusalem was shared by both Islam and the Judeo-Christian world, it was protected- this may now change to a degree.
President Trump has begun what some Jews already call the greatest Pro-Israel initiative in modern time. He is being compared to President Truman who has been given credit for opening the door to establish the Jewish nation.

In my book I indicate what is happening is not a coincidence. The time from the capture of Jerusalem by the Ottomans to their defeat by the British was 400 years. The time between Truman’s amazing decision to establish the nation of Israel and President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is 70 years. It appears that Trump was appointed by God for this time. Note also that Truman and President Trump both won surprise reversal of fortune elections- two of the most surprising elections in our history. The parallels are very interesting as both were businessman, and both have their names beginning with the same 1st 4 letters and their names mean something from a biblical viewpoint. This “New Beginning” will bring conflict and many new challenges around the globe and even in America. I believe that this will embolden the forces of evil and darkness. Keep in prayer! NOTE THAT NO OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO ITS CAPITAL AS ISRAEL HAS TO JERUSALEM! THIS RIGHT WAS SET BY GOD!

God will prevail for He is in control of the storm. Just as the storm that scared the disciples as they hurried to wake up Jesus Christ, our storm is designed to teach us faith. Jesus asked them why they had such little faith. He wants us to go through the storm with Him so that we will grow in faith. Jerusalem is God’s Holy City. And through Jerusalem, Jesus Christ will show us His Glory and His Power. Jerusalem is the center of history and through Jerusalem, Jesus will show the world that He is the center of the Universe and controls all the forces of Creation. The people of the Promise will seek to know Him and enjoy Him for HE IS THE LIGHT OF LIFE.
